it is generally agreed to be ass cancer and also pozzed

>>5011276
its made by graphic designers
graphic designers aren't taught to draw for some reason

>>5011278
its really such a shitty pathway that won't let you do anything else

>>5011271
It pays and any artist shitting on an artist just trying to make an honest living doing art as a dayjob has a severe case of NGMI and ligma

>>5011297
What's Ligma?

Sucks to suck, nerds. Stay mad, I'm sure you'll get your DiGiTal PaiNtiNg jobs someday.

I'm pretty sure if you kill all the people who use affirmative action artstyle (OP pic) nothing of value will be lost

>>5011446
cool it with the antisemitic remarks anon

The irony in the meme is that the girl on the right is drawn with more depth than the seething basedboy on the left

It's slave art. Any artist who draws like this is giving up their soul to get work. Simple as.

It's fine but not my thing, I'd probably kill myself if I were ever forced to work as a commercial illustrator.

There was an artist who used to post in ic actually, who I quite liked, they did flat style art which was very charming, lots of times with a space man or futuristic city. Anyone remember them or their socials? I want to hire.

Actually I found her and have already messaged her. It's pyros0me.

>>5012440
>that art
Yuck.
She will never have sex with you though, might as well quit the whiteknight LARP.

>flat artstyle
I think the name is not catchy and will not work.
I think it was called "people of the Internet" or some shit like that because of a Twitter profile, but it never caught on.

We should elect a name that is both good and offensive.
Some keywords: bauhaus, marxism, flat, clubbed fingers, colorblind, degenerate, MS Paint, vector, lazy, dehumanizing, soilent, designer, cubism, Picasso, rubber hose, noodle limbs, Google Doodle, Twitter, big corp, startup, nihilism, clipart, zoomer, shit.

She's shilling herself, retard. Only boomer company owners would unironically hire this.

Literal retard.

It's fine and clear, it's just annoying that it's constantly pushed by google and big tech.

>>5011342
do you know her personally? Why is she a cunt?
Gimme the gossip.

d/ic/ks can't even draw that flat shit

>>5012463
It actually does have a name. “Alegria”.
But I do prefer “the big gay”.

What's with the prevalence of these threads the past year? Seems there is a weekly thread now bitching about this style of illustration.

This shit isn't taking away from your coomer commissions, or your digital paintings of space orcs and dragons. Why does /ic/ feel so threatened by it? It has to be jealousy, right? Are you all mad that this style holds more appeal and is more appreciated than your awkward, try-hard digital renderings of dark elves or some siht?

>>5012545
She's well-known in the polishsphere for attwhoring in our boards. Also a raging libtard, although she tries to keep it low cause of all this 4chan involvment.
Highly suspected to be in cahoots with jannies.

ligma985 is the thickest streamer on twitch dot tv

I don't really think the problem's with the style itself (there aren't many ideas that don't work given a good presentation, and there are artists who can make it work), but rather its forced ubiquity
every shareholder/executive is going "hmm yes this is both safe and will resonate with the consumer, shove that shit everywhere"
now the art style is associated with soulless corporations who put on a shitty facade and pretend to be anything other than an entity whose end goal is to get you to buy their products and profit no matter what
if it was just one art style amidst many others, I'm pretty sure no one would be complaining
now who would've thought that centralizing creative decisions in the hands of people utterly uninterested and disqualified from making those decisions was a bad idea?
this video does a pretty good job of talking about the same phenomenon happening with music

I asked her to be my gf and she said no.

>>5012727
That's exactly why I find it hard to get worked up about it. I'd hate whatever becomes the next soulless pandering "communicating with the customer" style just as much.

>>5012868
Not everything could become that though.

>>5011271
I dislike it because it looks ugly.

You can land some comfy gigs if you know how to create websites and also design website graphics. Every company wants a modern and sleek looking website so it's literally free money.

If you're gonna disagree with
>any artist shitting on an artist just trying to make an honest living doing art as a dayjob has a severe case of NGMI
It means you're no longer attached to the reality of being an artist and are therefore SEVERELY not gonna make it.

Working artists need the money from bad art to make the GOOD work separate from their commercial art. Food's and rent's expensive; you can't eat exposure. If it keeps an artist fed and clothed, you should be happy another person can be a part of the industry.

Blaming artists for taking those jobs is supreme crab mentality. No successful artist would believe it. It's the mentality of someone with rich parents that would call themselves a "Purist" because he doesn't (NEED TO) dirty himself with the details of life.

He doesn't need to take shit art jobs to live: daddy's bankrolling his art career, paid for his art school, and doesn't mind when Junior can't hack it despite severe grade inflation, drops out, moves back home, and can't get a real job because nobody in 2020 wants shitty uncolored half-baked Loomis heads anymore.

These people, much like you, end up on /ic/. They're jealous of the artists who recognize and accept the compromises it takes to get work (boring styles, boring customers, and restrained creativity) - and it bothers the crab immensely that for one brief moment, the universe wasn't built just to cater to them.

The crab tells itself it's just attacking the style - but they're not. It's rage against
>A society that doesn't see THEM as an artist
>That doesn't care about Loomis realism the crab is obsessed with and LIKES flat art
>The hiring managers that choose what styles are commercial,
>The artists who have outpaced them by paying their dues doing shitty art to get where they are, and
>his inability to get EXACTLY what he wanted, for one brief moment

And all of this comes out in one big anonymous NGMI ligma orgy on /ic/, which is where we meet you - so say hi, crab-chan!

>over-the-top tl;dr reply to a two liner comment
Do you draw in this shit style? Because you seem exceptionally mad.
Learn to deal with criticism?

And what an intellectual experience that was.

>>5013076
Give me 5 examples of intellectual experiences.

>>5013188
Give me 5 reasons why I'm not allowed to dislike this art style.

>>5013196
No. You are allowed to dislike this artstyle.
However, I am requesting 5 examples of what you call "intellectual experiences", because your use of the term has piqued my curiosity.

>>5011271
people itt are dranatic
this style and kinda unique is ok but overused and boring.

>>5013201
>No. You are allowed to dislike this artstyle.
So why do you ragetype a tl;dr strawman when I do?

>>5013207
You are mistaken. I am not the anon you were originally replying to.
I am merely a bystander who wants answers. Answers regarding intellectual experiences.
If you do not wish to answer my question, that is perfectly fine. I wish you a good day, anon.

>>5013209
It's anything elucidating I guess. Not sure what your deal is.

>>5013225
Can you give some concrete examples of what you think are "elucidating"?
I have no deal. I come into threads to question people merely for the sake of questioning.

>>5013228
How retarded. Going to school. Reading the western canon. Loomis.

>>5013248
Thank you for your answers, anon.
I believe this exchange has been an intellectual experience for me.

would you still kill yourself if you could be george petty?

Gay and retard-pilled. You can be simplistic and still show form, depth, volume, and emotion. Death to the corporate homunculus.

>>5012401
desu it just shows you how little talent or skill is required to pull off this style when random /pol/fags can ape it like that.

For a while I did animation for my university. We made psa's and videos for online classes.
Everything was done in that style, because it's the only style simple enough that you can guarantee every shitty undergrad art student will be able to replicate.
Anything more complicated than that, and it would be a gamble whether or not everyone would be able to match the style.
The whole reason it exists is because it's cheap, it's almost effortless to make, and it's so devoid of personality that it could never be seen as off putting.
